Yes, I agree, it doesn't make sense, does it? The worst I've had - and more than once - is when someone says can I hold it for them for a couple of days, then, if they bother to get back to me at all, they ask if I can deliver it to them, sometimes quite a distance away! Especially when I'm offering it on Freegle!!! Sometimes you just can't believe the outright cheek and selfishness of people!!! One chap didn't turn up after promising that if I held it until that evening, he'd definitely come for it, and a day later told me he had decided to have a nap instead, no apology, and asked if it was still available. I said yes, and he promised he'd come later that day. He didn't, of course and I never heard from him again!! You can't help but wonder why they do it!! Another one was when I was giving away a bed with pull-out bed underneath in excellent condition, and the lady came to the door and said she was picking up a bed then without a single further word, put it in her van and just drove off!!!
